Omnipotent Mrs. Finn novel Chapter 228
"According to legend, the old ancestors of the Henderson family once saved a woodcutter in the mountains; that woodcutter was dying, and only after the ancestors examined him did they discover that he had, in fact, a sore on his abdomen."
Cara's cloudy eyes stared into the void, as if she had returned to the way she had sat on a bench listening to stories as a child, with a bit of despondency in her eyes.
"The sore was strange, not large in size, but on closer inspection, it turned out to be a human face, with a nose and mouth. At that time, the ancestors were also shocked, but seeing that the woodcutter was dying, they tried their best to save his life."
"But the ancestor had never seen such a strange sore, so they did not have a solution. After trial, they failed to save that woodcutter. When that woodcutter died, his body nearly empty of blood, but the only thing that was horrible was that the sore, which was like a human face, was still moving, as if it was breathing, sometimes showing its mouth and nose, sometimes hidden in the skin. ."
Hearing this, Ruby's eyes flashed and she ventured a guess.
"This human face like sore, should it be able to suck human blood ......"
Cara nodded and sighed lightly.
"Indeed, at that time, the ancestor felt odd and did not immediately bury that woodcutter's corpse, but continued to observe the sore, as a result, within two days, the woodcutter had almost become a skeleton, but the sore was still alive, the ancestor also made the same guess as you, and even cut his hand personally and dripped blood on that sore, and guess what?"
Faced with the old lady's question, Ruby, after a brief moment of contemplation, gave her reply.
"That sore should have opened its mouth and sucked the blood of the ancestor."
"That's right." Cara nodded.
"The sore was so strange and bizarre that the ancestors were suspicious and eventually dug up the entire piece of skin, along with the sore, and sealed it up, bringing it back for study. This is how the Henderson family first discovered the human-faced sore."
"Of course, there is no way to verify whether this passage is true or not, and it is ultimately just a legend, but ....
.."
As the topic came to an end, the old lady's words turned to a slightly lower tone.
"However, the Henderson family has been studying that sore since then, and even refined a witchcraft, namely the human face compulsion!"
Hearing that, Ruby already had a general idea in her heart.
It was supposed that the compulsion she discovered this time was related to the Henderson family!
As expected, soon after, Cara continued to speak.
"This witchcraft has always been secretly researched by the Henderson family, and although it was recorded in books before, it was never heard of being passed down, and the Henderson family was also extra careful, ordering the whole family not to tell others, and this human-faced compulsion is passed on to men but not women."
"Then, Grandma, you are not proficient in this technique?"
"I am a woman, and the old ancestors had rules, so naturally they would not pass it on to me, but although I am not proficient, I know a lot."
The old lady nodded, and then narrowed her eyes, cloudy yet shrewd.
"The Human face compulsion can’t be tolerable for ordinary people. This compulsion is extremely poisonous, if it is planted on a human body, it will be parasitic in the human body, at first the human body will not notice it, no pain, no itch, no different from normal people, but slowly it will create sores on the skin, sometimes on the limbs, but mostly on the abdomen.
Once the sores have taken shape, they will begin to suck the blood out of the human being. Although the person notices the sores on the skin, they cannot detect them and can only suffer day after day until the sores have sucked most of the blood out of the human being, and the human being will then fall into a false death, and if it is not treated in time, it will turn from a false death into a real death. After that, the sore would suck all of the human blood and people will become a skeleton."
Just by listening to this, Ruby could imagine how horrible this compulsion was.
She frowned, "So the only way to save the person is to uproot this human-faced compulsion from the person's body?"
